inheritance among their brethren.^16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.^17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
The Book ofPsalms
CHAPTER 1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.^2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.^3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
(^4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. (^5) Therefore the ungodly
shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.^6 For the LORD
knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
CHAPTER 2
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
(^2) The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the
LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
(^3) Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
(^4) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
(^5) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
(^6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
(^7) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I
begotten thee.
(^8) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts
of the earth for thy possession.
(^9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s
vessel.
(^10) Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
(^11) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
(^12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but
a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
